Can flat feet or knock knees affect how kids move? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT05763901
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 151 children with common postural conditions like flat feet, knock knees, or scoliosis. Researchers used wearable motion sensors and clinical tests to measure balance and motor control, then compared the results to healthy children. The goal was to see if these common issues are linked to delays in motor development.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If this study finds clear links between common postural issues and motor delays, it could lead to earlier screening and targeted physical therapy for affected children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all children, and the findings are only about measurement, not about improving outcomes.
